Question 249501: Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (-6,1) and is parrallel to the graph of y=-5x+2
Answer by tutorcecilia(2152)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (-6,1) and is parrallel to the graph of y=-5x+2
Parallel lines have the same slope, so, use the formula y=mx+b
1=(-5)(-6)+b [plug-in the values (-6,1) (slope=-5) and solve for the b-term]
1=-30+b
30=b
31=b
so,
y=-5x+31
